Autopilot System
Smooth Driverless Operations
The Autopilot system provides simple driverless operations:
the machines ensure accurate transportation, stacking or
picking - an excellent choice for busy environments where
repetitive movements are common, providing highly
efficient, cost-effective goods handling with a significant
and fast return on investment.
The Autopilot system is adaptable and ideal for handling
transportation of goods in warehouses, buffer storage or
production areas. The Autopilot system can work seamlessly
in a mixed operation alongside manually operated vehicles
and personnel - in a completely safe environment.
The Autopilot system brings increased operating efficiency
through accurate and reliable positioning of goods in
the right place at all times. Furthermore, the system also
creates high machine availability and reduces machine,
infrastructure and goods damage.
All models in the Autopilot range can be used in manual
mode as conventional trucks allowing complete flexibility in
operations.
Automation
Maximum Safety and Flexibility
Toyota Material Handling has created automated solutions
to suit applications from ‘stand-alone’ simple operations
such as goods transport through to larger operations where
multiple trucks are integrated into the customer’s Warehouse
Management System.
There are numerous advantages to introducing automation
to your material handling: safer operation with reduced
risk of accidents, smooth traffic flow and greater reliability
in transport, together with improved efficiency and
opportunities to reduce cost.
Automated processes require less manual labour, and are
amongst the most efficient ways to increase productivity
and reduce operation cost.
The Autopilot system can easily be adapted to existing
operations, keeping the same infrastructure. It is also
scalable, making it possible to match the solution to your
growing business demands. The biggest payback potential
in automation comes in productivity improvements, where
in some operations 80% or more can be achieved.
Productivity
Quick ROI through productivity gains
• The use of automated trucks eliminates manual transports
such as receiving or despatching goods, handling empty
pallets, and moving goods between production lines. It
can eliminate labour time spent on truck driving by up to
80% or more.
• Systems such as WMS or MES can initiate transport orders
to a fleet of automated trucks.
Cost advantage
A number of key benefits
• A fully automated machine reduces the number of
personnel required.
• It can operate in low light and temperatures, saving on
energy costs.
• Automated trucks reduce the risk of damage to goods and
infrastructure.
• Automated trucks are easy to introduce into an operation,
with minor or no additional infrastructure.
Project support
From analysis to go-live
• We provide tools to improve capacity, productivity
and cost control for fully automated trucks or mixed
environments in parallel with manually operated trucks.
• We support you throughout the process from analysis to
go-live, turn-key solutions.
• We offer flexibility in solutions by using standard material
handling equipment and unique intelligent software
solutions that allow communication with your warehouse
management systems.
Flexibility
Not limited to set routes
• Unlike traditional AGVs, automated warehouse trucks are
not limited to set routes.
• The Autopilot can be easily switched from automatic to
manual mode.
• The user can de ne the most efficient way to operate for a
particular pick cycle or pallet handling operation.
Safety
Technology to prevent collision
• All Autopilot-controlled trucks comply with industry-
approved safety standards.
• In addition to audible warnings and lights, they have built-
in sensors to detect obstacles and determine when to slow
down or stop to prevent a collision.
• The sensors are positioned to detect objects and activity
around the vehicle.
Service
Based on the Toyota Service Concept
• No matter where your business is located our highly
trained technicians are never far away to maintain your
fleet of trucks.
• 24 hour parts delivery
anywhere in Australia.
• We ensure Australia-wide
coverage.
• We only use exact-
fit genuine parts, for
performance and durability.
